Sepsis Infections

What Is Sepsis?

Also known as “septicemia,” sepsis is a deadly complication
that can occur when you are being treated for an infection. It happens
when a medication or other chemical treatment being used to fight the
infection sets off a severe negative reaction, which can develop into
septic shock. In the beginning, sepsis often manifests itself in the following symptoms:

High respiratory rate of at least 20 breathes per minute and difficulty breathing

High heart rate of at least 90 beats per minute (BPM) and heart pain

High internal temperature of at least 101 degrees Fahrenheit

Minimal or infrequent urination

Pain in the chest or abdomen

Altered mental status

Sepsis infections typically result in inflated medical costs, time off
work, additional pain, suffering, and health complications, and more.
Depending on the severity and development of a sepsis infection, it can
even cost you your life. Regardless of the extent of a sepsis infection,
it almost always requires costly treatments and diagnostic tests, including
MRIs, CT scans, IV medications, surgery, and more.

How Do Sepsis Infections Occur?

Sepsis infections typically develop during a period of hospitalization,
however short. Sometimes these life-threatening infections occur because
of the negligence of a doctor, nurse, or hospital. They can also happen
as a result of defective medical equipment, putting the manufacturer or
designer at fault for the infection. Any of the following can contribute
to the development of a sepsis infection:

Poorly cleaned medical tools

Failure to wash hands appropriately and often

Improper administration of IV medication

Inadequate maintenance or cleanliness of a hospital

Unsanitary water supply
